Jeremy Brett,永远的福尔摩斯

What a lovely thing a rose is. There is nothing in which deduction is so necessary as in religion. It can be built up as an exact science by the reasoner. Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in Howers. It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again, we have much to hope for from the flowers.

God bless you for saying that.

If we keep our courage and patience, the truth must come out.

Once a clergyman, always a clergyman.

Ah, it’s a wicked world, and when a clever man turns his brain to crime, it’s the worst of all.

He’s so cunning, I never know when I’m safe from him.

Well then, he must guard himself or he may find someone more cunning than himself upon his track, shall we?

It’s possible, anything’s possible. When a doctor goes wrong, he is the first of criminals. He has nerve, he has knowledge,…this man strikes even deeper.

Violence dose, in truth, recoil upon the violent. And the schemer falls into the pit which he digs for another.

It’s a bonny thing. Just see how it glints and sparkles.

Of course, it is a nucleus and focus of crime. Every good stone is.

They are the devil’s pet baits.

In the larger and older jewels, every facet may stand for bloody deed.

Mrs. Hudson, we shall turn dinner into supper, and we will follow this clue while it is still hot.

Which is more than the supper will be?

To the man who loves art for its own sake, it is frequently in its least important and lowest manifestations that the keenest pleasure is to be derived.

No, it is not selfishness or even conceit. If I claim full justice for my art, it is because crime is common; logic is rare. Therefore, it is upon logic rather than upon crime that you should dwell.

This is the peace of God, that passes all understanding.

However wretch as he was, he was still living under the shield of British law. And I have no doubt, inspector, that we shall see, that though that shield may fail to guard, the sword of justice is still there to avenge.

All that I have to say has already crossed your mind.

And possibly my answer has already crossed yours.

If we should catch the big fish then the smaller would dart right and left out of the net.

Yet, there are some trees, Watson, which grow to a certain height and then suddenly develop some unsightly eccentricity. You will often find it in humans.

Once or twice in my career, I feel I’ve done more real harm about my discovery of the criminal than ever he had done by his crime. But I’ve learned caution now, and I’d rather play tricks with the law of England than with my own conscience.
